Jasper:
"Rose, I got great news!" I exclaimed, storming into her house.
"Jasper, I'm running late! Stacy called me and said my client who came yesterday is coming today! I was suppose to be at my office an hour ago, but the babysitter canceled on me so I have to take Aubrey and Mason to work! Can you tell me your great news later, please Jasper?" Rose asked, buckling Mason in his car seat.
"Rose, Mariah and I finally found a house!" I blurted out, picking up Aubrey's car seat.
"Jasper that's great! And I want to hear all about it once I get home from work!" Rose replied, grabbing her briefcase with one hand and Mason's car seat with the other.
I threw a blanket over each car seat to block the sun from shining in their faces. I helped Rose hook the car seats into the car, before walking her around to the driver's seat.
"It's a nice house Rosalie." I whispered, as she pecked my cheek.
"I know it is! And I want to hear all about it once I get home!"
I watched Rose pull out of the drive way before I turned to enter her house once again. I walked inside the quiet and empty house before stepping on a stuffed giraffe. I picked it up and decided to take it upstairs. I walked pass Rose's room and realized that I never actually been inside of it. I placed the giraffe in Mason's room before slowly walking towards Rose's room.
I inched my hand towards the doorknob of her door, before twisting. For some reason, the door was lock. Who locks their bedroom door?
"Jasper, are you here!" Mariah shouted, as I heard the front door close.
"Upstairs!" I replied, turning away from Rose's door.
"Where's Maria?" I asked, noticing Mariah alone.
"I dropped her off over your mother's house. They want to spend more time with her and develop a relationship with their granddaughter." Mariah answered, inching towards me.
I wrapped my arms around Mariah's waist as she brought her lips to mine. I felt her loosen the buttons of my shirt, before I decided to stop her.
"Unless you want a pissed of Rosalie, I suggest we stop." I laughed, releasing her waist from my arms.
"Yeah you're right. Your sister scares me sometimes." Mariah giggled, smacking my chest, flirtatiously.
I grabbed her hand and kissed the ring I put on it. She intertwined her fingers with mine before coming back into my embrace.
"She shouldn't mind if we kiss." I whispered, against Mariah's lips.
"Yeah, but I mind." Mariah giggled, pushing me away.
I watched her walk towards the couch, before flopping down onto it. I walked around Rose's house to see very expensive art pieces. Wow, Emmett does mail a lot of money. I saw pricey artifacts and pictures hanging on Rose's wall.
"I wonder who decorated her house because it looks amazing." Mariah whispered, admiring the beauty of her house.
"You wouldn't even think she has two babies living here. It's so clean!" Mariah astonished, swiping her finger along the coffee table to inspect for desk.
"Oh I see, you haven't met Helga. Helga is Rose's cleaning lady, who comes here every Wednesday and Saturday to clean up." I informed, walking into the kitchen.
I grabbed a knife and slid it into my pocket, before heading towards the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Mariah asked, laying back onto the couch.
"Bathroom." I lied, continuing up the stairs.
I walked towards Rosalie's room, and pulled the knife out. I used the knife to pick the lock and before I knew it the door popped open. I walked inside and it looked like an ordinary room. I walked towards her bedside table and noticed a picture of her and Alice. I decided to close the door and lock it because Mariah would be get very emotional. I continued to walk around and saw pictures of her and the twins. I looked through her dresser and saw a hidden picture of her and Emmett back in high school. I continued to look around before I noticed a picture of me and Maria, but the other half was ripped off. I pulled my wallet out and realized I gave her this picture because I have the same exact copy in my wallet. She ripped Mariah out of the picture. I thought she liked Mariah, but I guess not. She had good reason for locking me out of her room, because I'm not dealing with this. I need to talk to her. I pulled my car keys out of my pocket, before slamming Rose's door shut.
"What's going on? Jasper are you alright?" Mariah asked, worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm about to go pick up Maria." I informed her, watching her get up.
"Want me to come?" she asked, grabbing her jacket.
"No, stay here. I'm going to run her pass Rose's office."
"Okay, I'll be taking a nap." Mariah replied, getting comfortable on the couch.
I wasn't planning on picking Maria up, but when I come back Mariah will be wondering where she is. So, I guess I have to. But, after I pick her up, I'm planning a visit to Rosalie's job.
Rosalie:
I pulled into the parking lot of my real estate agency and noticed a familiar looking jeep. I parked my car and turned off the engine before stepping out. I went to Mason's side first and unbuckled the car seat, and grabbed the handle before heading towards Aubrey's side. I looked up at the door to see Stacy coming out to lend me a hand.
"No luck on the babysitter?" she asked, grabbing my briefcase.
"Is he here?" I wondered, nervously, hoping he hasn't waited too long.
"Yeah!" Stacy remarked, opening the door to the building.
"How long?" I questioned, setting the car seats down onto Stacy's desk.
"About ten minutes." she responded, taking the blanket covers from around the car seat.
"I'm going to take them out and let them walk around the office." she informed me, as I headed towards my office.
I gripped my brief case tighter, as I headed to my office. I hope that jeep doesn't belong to the person I think it does. I don't know how to explain to him, why I left. I never really thought of the day I would see him again.
I walked through the double door that led to my office, to see the back of a head that looked very familiar. Beside him were two other heads that looked familiar. The best thing I can do for myself and my family right now is to pretend I have no clue who they are.
I swallowed the nervousness in my throat as I grabbed the handle on my briefcase.
"Hello! I'm-" I started, seeing a smile stretch across Emmett's face.
"Rosalie." Emmett finished.
"I'm sorry. Do I know you?" I wondered, taking a seat at my desk.
"That's not going to work for me. I know you know me." Emmett asserted, walking towards me.
Damn it.! It was worth a shot. I looked beside Emmett to see Bella and Alice completely speechless.
"Isabella…Mary." I acknowledged, calling them by their first names.
"Since when were we on first name basis?" Alice asked, walking towards me.
"Since you pretty much caused that argument at the last dinner together." I remarked, quickly grabbing onto the picture of me and my babies before they saw it.
"If you're trying to hide the picture of the children from me you are too late. I already saw it." Emmett spoke up, as I slowly put the picture back.
"How about we discuss where you'll move to tomorrow? You guys have some things to work out." Alice mentioned, grabbing onto Bella's arm.
I watched them leave out of my office as Emmett leaned his body against my desk.
"I see you made a name for yourself." he astonished, looking around my office.
"Yeah! It's thanks to Mason and Aubrey. I decided to go back to school and finish." I replied, staring into his eyes.
"How are they?" he murmured, grinning at me.
"They're great! They're beautiful! They're healthy! They're cute! Oh my gosh the other day Aubrey was upstairs at my house and she started walking to the staircase-" I started, watching Emmett listen intently.
"They walk now?" he asked, giving me his undivided attention.
"Yeah, they do! Well, anyway of course I started to panic. I had Mason in my arms and he was a screaming mess! I ran as fast as I could with a toddler in my arms and right before Aubrey fell over I grabbed her! Can you believe it? I actually grabbed her! That was one of the scariest days of my life!" I finished, watching him brush my hair back with his hand.
"You have a sparkle in your eye when you talk about them." Emmett commented, causing me to turn away bashfully.
"If you knew them Emmett, you would too!" I whispered, as he used his fingers to turn me to face him.
"I want to know them." he spoke up, sliding his hand in mine.
"Are you sure? I mean, it's no pressure! Are you actually ready for everyone to know you're the father of my children? Girls won't be on you Emmett! This will change your life! I got through their first year without sprouting gray hairs, so I think I can do 17 more." I explained, pulling my hand out of his.
"No Rose! I'm not getting any younger." he remarked, as I backed away from him.
"Emmett, remember your father. He won't approve and you know that! Emmett, being a father is a 24 hour job. You won't have any days off. You aren't going to be able to get your playboy pad. I'm telling you this will change your life. I know you Emmett…you're not the married, fatherly type and I don't want to force you to be someone you're not. I want my children to have a good father, and I don't think you'll be him." I finished, as the look of hurt struck his face.
"Emmett, I didn't mean to-" I started, before he raised his hand to cut me off.
"I understand. I'll be back tomorrow to discuss penthouses." he responded, glancing down at the picture on my desk.
"Emmett wait!" I shouted, jogging after him.
I followed him out into the lobby and noticed Stacy taking a phone call behind her desk. I saw Aubrey and Mason under the desk opposite of hers playing with Alice and Bella. I watched Emmett glance down at the two toddlers. Both Mason and Aubrey looked up at him and smiled. I think at that exact moment my heart broke again. I think I just made one of the biggest mistakes in my life.
Bella and Alice must have noticed the distress look on Emmett's face because they both stood up, ready to go. Mason walked towards me and held out his toy car.
"Thank you so much!" I exclaimed, taking it from him.
Mason continued to stand in front of me and I knew what he wanted. He does this every time…he would hand me a toy…and wait until I handed it back. I laughed to myself before giving it back over. Mason quickly grabbed it before scurrying over towards Emmett.
"You know Emmett, he looks somewhat like you." Alice noticed, looking from Emmett to Mason.
"Can we just go?" Emmett shouted, turning away from Alice.
"Here." Mason muttered, holding out his toy to Emmett.
Emmett looked at me and once I nodded he grabbed it from Mason. Aubrey walked towards me with her arms in the air.
"Up." she demanded, causing me to laugh.
I opened my arms and let her waddle to me. She threw her arms around my neck before I lifted her up. For some strange reason, Mason didn't wait for his toy back.
"Emmett, why does he look so much like you?" Alice asked, picking Mason up.
"Lets go!" Emmett growled, opening the door.
"Emmett, why does he look like you?" Alice repeated, raising her voice.
"Because he's my son!" Emmett shouted, angrily, storming out of the office.
Review:
I know Alice and Jasper are suppose to be together, but Edward, Bella, Rosalie, and Emmett are going to have something to do with getting them back together. But, before I can have Rosalie and Emmett help Alice and Jasper get back together, they have to settle things.
